Super clean: the hostel has dedicated cleaning staff between late morning and early afternoon like in a hotel. Two lockers per bed and enough space to store luggages and other things around. Ensuite toilet separated by a thick curtain to minimise nuisance. The hostel has an annexed restaurant/bar, a large common room and even a patio with a stage for performance, yet the rooms remain super quiet. The staff is nice and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
